Stonehenge Private Tour
Europe is full of historic sites that will fascinate and beguile you. But if you know where to look, there are often ways to experience these places on a more intimate level that few others are able to. From castle stays in Scotland to night tours of the Roman Colosseum to private dining at centuries-old pubs, there are enriching historical experiences at various attractions and sites. And Stonehenge is no different.

Unreal City
In those days I escaped to London, walking fast down the long King's Cross platform with music blasting in my headphones, out onto dirty roads longer than I'd ever seen in the relentless heat of the summers, where I'd go to friends' houses I never remembered in patchworks across the city, deciding on my favourite tube lines (the Jubilee, for its vast cement wells you could rattle up and down in and shiny metal doors with perfect Hollywood opening) and getting lost on the ones I hated (the Metropolitan, bomb shelter tubes after which reading anything in maroon causes my mind to empty itself of all sense of direction) and waiting sullenly at 24-hour kiosks run by grinning men while my friends arrived home to let me in, perpetually late.

A Millennial's Trip To:
An underestimated city, full of beautiful buildings, bustling bars and eateries galore. I must admit, when my excitable friend threw out the suggestion to have a holiday in Budapest, I was sceptical; is Budapest really the place for a girl's holiday?

UK to Mongolia. You Call These Roads?
It has been five years since a journey of six weeks, driving from London to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, engulfed our lives. We called ourselves, 'team: one steppe beyond,' which was fitting, since we left London with only one CD of the same name by the group Madness. Great album, but how many times can you mosh with four burly men and skinning Nick in a van with minimum head room and a giant beer fridge.

Fall in Love in Venice
I dare not shut my eyes. I simply cannot. Everywhere I look is just so overwhelmingly beautiful that a simple blink has me thinking I will miss something. The city is so gorgeous and oddly it's the very mundane sights that take your breath away.

Below is our 4-day itinerary in Folkestone & Dover area. I have also added a list of additional things we plan to do on our next visit to the area.

Paris in Spring: 4 Things You Absolutely Should Do
This March I went to Paris with my boys. I am glad it was a family trip, you see, because romantic voyage to Paris with compulsory kissing at the top of the Tour Eiffel and eating les croissants is so much of a cliché that I wouldn’t even enjoy it. In the western pop culture, Paris is steeped in romance. However, if you exclude the romantic fluff from your agenda, you become able to see what the fuss is all about. Paris is an utterly amazing place—historically, culturally, aesthetically, and in any other way you can imagine. Even though we tried sticking to the beaten track and came to see all the popular tourist sights, our journey was full of discoveries.

Sightseeing and Spires? The Best UK City Breaks
So what are some of the spots that you should be considering? Well allow me to divulge. Mad for Manchester The UK’s second city (or third depending who you ask) is becoming a destination that in a lot of aspects is rivaling London. In terms of sporting hotspots, there is Manchester United’s historical Old Trafford, as well as more modern Etihad Stadium of Manchester City. But if you’re more of a cricket kind of guy, then Lancashire Cricket Club also have a home called Old Trafford, this one being a cricket ground, which is a stone’s throw away from United’s ‘Theatre of Dreams’. Or if the nightlife is more your scene, there are plenty of options including the infamous LGBT scene in Canal Street. As well as that, there are some great art galleries in the form of the aptly named Manchester Art Gallery and the Lowry, which has a shopping centre right next to it. So what better excuse to go on a shopping spree? With sites such as Promo Codes For, you can get a whole host of discounts from loads of high street names. Places such as Currys-PC World and Camera King have some great discount codes, so why not treat yourself to a new camera to snap all the sights?
